Benson and Stabler investigate the connection between the New York murder of college counselor, Kate Simes and her volunteer work at a refugee center working with soldiers tortured in Iraq. Her killer escapes to another country, but the person who helped him with the torture methods, Doctor Faith Sutton, is charged with criminally negligent homicide as his torture led to his death by heart attack after he was tortured again. During the trial, a juror has a heart attack, but Sutton and Warner manage to save him but as a result, a mistrial is declared. Sutton's lawyer reveals that the jury was irrevocably split and a mistrial would've been declared anyway so a new trial isn't set, but Warner contacts the ethics board to see about revoking Sutton's license. Ultimately, she gets a temporary suspension, but says that even that could ruin her career and shows no remorse for her actions, but Warner's speech to her about the Hippocratic Oath seems to leave her considering her actions.
